we're an illustration studio based out of Bangalore. We're a sort of a niche setup because we do only illustration and concept art, no design, advertising, new media work etc.
Here is some of our stuff.



We use opensource software for most of all our illustration work. (http://www.pencilsauce.wordpress.com/)
To be honest, it's been an uphill climb so far to get art directors to use illustrators on a regular basis. Most people automatically visualise in photographic imagery I suppose. Even if an illustration is commissioned, illustrators are almost always treated as freelancers or unreliable, and the fees for illustration are always conceded grudgingly, and in nuts. Peanuts mostly. As a professional studio, this makes life difficult for us. If you're an art director from an agency perhaps you can help me understand this. Why is illustration stonewalled. Is it that the client doesn't see value and therefore it's difficult to justify costs?
Wish I knew. Perhaps you could tell me if you do.
Also do let me know what you think of our work. More here... http://www.pencilsauce.com
